Arkose is typically grey to reddish in colour. The sand grains making up an arkose may range from fine to very coarse, but tend toward the coarser end of the scale. Fossils are rare in arkose, due to the depositional processes that form it, although bedding is frequently visible. Arkose is generally formed from the weathering of feldspar-rich igneous or metamorphic, most commonly granitic, rocks, which are primarily composed of quartz and feldspar (called 'grus' as a sand).
In 1978, the presence of haematopoietic stem cells is discovered in human cord blood cells. It was in 1981 when scientists Martin Evans, Matthew Kaufman and Gail R. Martin were able to derive embryonic stem cells (this term is attributed to Martin) out of the inner cell mass of a mouseâs blastocyst.
Virchowâs greatest accomplishment was his observation that a whole organism does not get sickâonly certain cells or groups of cells. In 1855, at the age of 34, he published his now famous aphorism âomnis cellula e cellulaâ (âevery cell stems from another cellâ). With this approach Virchow launched the field of cellular pathology.
